|November 7, 2017
Summary
Preoperative nonwire localization using Iodine-125 seeds is typically guided by mammography or ultrasound. This case report details the first MRI-guided bracket localization using two Iodine-125 seeds for breast cancer.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Preoperative nonwire localization with Iodine-125 seeds is a standard technique for guiding breast cancer surgery.
- Current MRI-guided breast interventions are mainly limited to biopsies and wire localizations.
- Nonwire localization with Iodine-125 seeds is sometimes preferred when the target lesion is only visible on MRI.
Observation:
- This case report presents a novel application of MRI-guided localization.
- Two Iodine-125 seeds were used for bracket localization in a preoperative setting.
- The procedure was performed under Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance.
Findings:
- The study demonstrates the feasibility of MRI-guided preoperative Iodine-125 seed bracket localization.
- This technique allows for precise localization of breast lesions primarily visible on MRI.
- Successful implementation of MRI-guided nonwire localization was achieved.
Implications:
- This approach expands the utility of MRI in breast interventions.
- It offers a new option for nonwire localization when mammographic or ultrasonographic guidance is insufficient.
- This technique may improve surgical accuracy and patient outcomes in select breast cancer cases.

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...
